Hi All,
Does anyone know where I might find a list of the names, ranks and units of the Prussian troops killed at Waterloo? (Preferably from multiple units, but if it's only from a single unit, that would still be useful.
Many thanks
Zack
@Zack White@Hans - Karl WeißBut we shouldn't blame the Swedes for their pronunciation of their Waterloosong. The British are to blame, since their way of pronuciation of nearly every word is totaly incomprehansive. Or the should start writing their 'words' in a different, accordingly their pronunciation. Perhaps would the 'Umlaut' be a good idee, although we here manage very well without.
And the A in Waterloo should sound like the second A in words like Agenda, Camera.
@Alfred Brans Oh, no, I agree, we can't blame people for pronunciation. (After all, as Hans-Karl knows, my pronunciation is so bad that its becoming a running joke of my podcast!)
H@Zack White I meant the english language. Perhaps, the worst thing about their Victory, is the resulting worlddominance of english rather than french. Perhaps our army should have fared better back then, and people all over the world would have been better off, speaking Nederlands.
Thank you both for this. I'm chasing it up!
As Alfred Brans already mentioned
Plotho, Carl von : Der Krieg des verbündeten Europa gegen Frankreich im Jahre 1815, Berlin 1818
It is available on line.
Oliver Schmidt was so nice to give me more information for other sources
Hei, Namenslisten der Offiziere finden sich in Plotho 1815, Anhänge Ansonsten: http://members.home.nl/uythoven/1815%20Zieten%20losses.htm https://books.google.de/books?id=Yb5FAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA220 https://books.google.de/books?id=Yb5FAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA76 Eine gleichartige Gesamtübersicht für das 3. Armee-Korps kenne ich leider nicht. Gruß, OliMy toe nails cringe if I see Prussians referred to the railway station in London, maybe you mean Belle Alliance 😉😉
